    I wanted a subaru baja turbo bad, but then I came across the VX, and I'm glad I did.

    Would love to have a fiero too

    Aztek....

    Buick Grand National

    Wouldn't have thought the t-rex was popular with the modders. Going to have to check that out.

    This one was a bare metal restoration with a 300hp 3.6 Carerra engine to spice it up a bit!

    I came within an eyelash of buying a black one about 10 years ago...I passed only because it was automatic & I wanted a manual trannie.

    turbo-charged 4cyl w/ rwd. Sold as either a Mitsubishi Starion or Chrysler Conquest TSI Turbo.

    Being almost all my life a big fan of Mitsubishi's I would have to agree with you on this one. I've had 4 Starions/Conquest and they are amazing machines. So my list:
    -1987-1989 Mitsubishi Starion/Conquest TSI
    -1991-1992 Mitsubishi Galant VR4 (2500 units made)
    -1994 Mitsubishi Galant GS (1500 units made)
    -199? Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 Spider (500 units made)

    I had one, that was a fun car, looked just like that blue one. How about that AWD Porsche that came out in the 90s I think. They won baja or the Dekar with it. It was a 911 of some sort.

    buick, there it is lol....(sorry im young so i dont know these older cars, but i respect them)

    ya the t-rex has become really big with the whole modding community...
    just think about it, TONS of power, something you almost never see (i have only seen one in person), and tons of potential for modification

    oh, and what about the toyota supra? or the nissan skyline? or mazda rx-7?

    those are all huge in the import community...
